The actual loss by death has been below the average, a 
considerable portion of the amount so charged being the 
customary depreciation in value, of the older animals in 
the collection. 
No new work has been undertaken during the year, the 
only expenditures for labor, outside of the regular Garden 
force, being for such repairs as were required for the proper 
protection of buildings and enclosures. 
Respectfully, 
ARTHUR ERWIN BROWN, 
General Superintendent.
